Install in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions A. Do not block any ventilation openings To ensure reliable operation of the projector and to protect it from overheating, put the projector in a position and location that will not interfere with its proper ventilation. For example, do not place the projector on a bed, sofa, carpet, or similar surface that may block the ventilation openings. Do not put it in an enclosure, such as a bookcase or a cabinet that may keep air from flowing through its ventilation openings. B. Do not use this projector near water or moisture. To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock, do not expose the projector to rain or moisture. C. Do not install near any heat sources, such as radiators, heaters, stoves or other apparatus (including amplifiers) that produce heat. Clean only with a dry cloth. Only use attachments/accessories specified by the manufacturer. Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel. Servicing is required when the projector has been damaged in any way: Such as power supply cord or plug is damaged. Liquid has been spilled or objects have fallen into the apparatus. The projector has been exposed to rain or moisture, does not operate normally, or has been dropped. Do not attempt to service this projector yourself. Opening or removing covers may expose you to dangerous voltages or other hazards. Please call Optoma to be referred to an authorized service center near you.

A stick or laser pointer is recommended to avoid the need for Ensure that projectors are located out of the line of sight from the screen to the audience; this ensures that, when presenters look at the audience, they do not also have to stare at the projector lamp. The best way to achieve this is by ceiling-mounting rather than floor or table-mounting the projector. students when they are asked to point out something on the screen. to reduce ambient light levels. When projector is used in a classroom, adequately supervise In order to minimize the lamp power needed, use room blinds 8 Recommendations Usage Notice English To unleash the performance of the HD81, it is best to input video content in its original form without any processing. This will utilize the full capabilities of the HD81 for de-interlacing, scaling and image enhancement. As an example, if a user has an HDMI DVD player capable of outputting the video signal in a 480i/576i digital format, we recommend feeding it directly to the HD81 without any processing by the DVD player. This will provide the HD81 with the original digital video stream and allow the HD81 to fully unleash its studio grade video processing. In general, we recommend the following: If possible, use digital output (DVD, D-VHS, DTV setup box, etc). If there is no digital output, use the component output terminals (YPbPr) with short and high-quality components cables. If you are unsure of the quality of the internal de-interlacing or scaler of your video source, let HD81 do the processing by connecting to the interlaced component output. If possible, leave out any extra video processing in your video source (DVD, D-VHS, and HDTV STB). Some HDTV STB models have scaling conversion that will output 1080i from a 720p format. Try to output 1080i in its native signal format and let HD81 perform deinterlacing and scaling. Not all HDMI DVD players have a digital interlaced output (480i/576i). For these products, it is suggested that users try 480p/576p first, followed by 720p and 1080i. After viewing the full range of output resolutions, the user can then judge which is the best image quality and set the HD81 for that resolution. Many high-end analog output DVD players also come with high quality DAC with 12 or 14 bits of processing. Again, the users should try setting their 480i/576i output to HD81 first. HD81 has BNC connectors for component video input. If the user plans to use analog component to connect to their video source, for the best image quality, it is recommend using the BNC connectors. For connecting to Laser Disc player or S-VHS deck, we suggest to use S-video output connection to connect to HD81. It is best to have a separate power outlet for audio and video equipment. 9 Introduction Product Features The HD81 is a true 1080P single chips 0.95" DLPTM projector .Buildin fully-featured, all digital, video processor with advanced Scaling functions designed to enhance and improve all video signals.

Composite Video Cable 18 Installation Connecting HD81 To AV Receiver For maximum flexibility when integrating into existing entertainment systems, the HD81 Video Box is equipped with 2 HDMI outputs. One output directly sends the signal out to the display and the second output sends the signal out to an HDMI equipped AV receiver. There are three ways to connect the HDMI output from the HD81's Video Box. Option 1 Using HD81's Video Box as video source selector and HDMI equipped AV Receiver for audio: If you have an HDMI equipped AV receiver and wish to send the audio signal to the receiver, but utilize the HD81's Box as the video source selector: 1) Connect the video sources to the HD81's video Box. 2) Attach an HDMI cable to the "To AV Receiver" port on the back of the HD81's Video Box. Connect the other end to your AV Receiver. This will allow the audio signal to be controlled by the AV Receiver. 3) Attach a 2nd HDMI cable to the AV out port on the back of the AV Receiver. Connect the other end to the "From AV Receiver" on the back of the HD81's Video Box. This will return the video signal in a "pass through" mode. 4) Connect an HDMI Cable to the "To Projector" on the back of the HD81's Box side. Connect the other end to HD81's projector side. 19 English Installation Option 2 Using HD81 as video source selector and directly connecting the video source to the AV Receiver: If you do not have an HDMI equipped AV receiver, to ensure proper audio connections, you will need to directly connect the Audio out from the Video source to your receiver. The HD81 will be used only to process the Video signals. 1) Connect the video sources to the HD81's Video Box. 2) Connect the video sources audio out directly to your receiver. 3) Attach the short HDMI cable that comes standard with the unit to the "To AV Receiver" port on the back of the HD81's Video Box. Connect the other end to the "From AV Receiver" port on the back of the HD81's Video Box. This will allow the video signal to be properly managed. 4) Connect an HDMI Cable to the "To Projector" on the back of the HD81's Box side. Connect the other end to HD81's projector side. Option 3 If you have a single HDMI source, you can hook the Video source directly up to the "From AV Receiver" port on the back of the HD81's Video Box. Connect a second HDMI cable to the "To Projector" port on the back of the HD81's Video Box and attach the other end to HD81's Projector side. This configuration only process high resolution video for HD81's projector. 20
